Immerse yourself in the charm and ambiance of the quintessential Tuscan hillside village of Cortona, Italy – situated between Florence and Rome and made famous by Frances Mayes’ Under the Tuscan Sun. 

Stroll the winding streets of this ancient Etruscan city, taking in views of the valley and Lake Trasimeno below. Explore the shops and restaurants, churches, museums and piazzas.  Savor a glass of Brunello while sitting on your terrace, taking in the spectacular view and watching the sunset.  This quaint village setting is perfect for a family vacation or a fun-filled escape with friends.

Casa San Marco is a beautifully restored 4 bedroom home occupying the top two floors of a former 16th century palazzo, overlooking the stunning church of San Francesco and the beautiful valley below.  Soaring 15-foot ceilings and original arched windows surround the modern conveniences of a remodeled kitchen and two full baths. Just a 5-10 minute walk down the hill is Cortona’s main Piazza Repubblica, where locals congregate throughout the day to talk, shop and – of course, eat.

Included with your stay, you can enjoy a private in-home cooking class in the spacious kitchen, during which you will learn to prepare an authentic Italian feast with area chefs.  A selection of local wines will flow as you prepare and savor your creations.

Full concierge support staff is at your service to create the Tuscan vacation of your dreams.  Day trip to neighboring hill towns including Siena and Assisi; tour the Montalcino and Chianti wine regions, or visit the Giulio Gialletti ceramic factory in Deruta.  From bike tours to rail excursions, the options are numerous.
